$50 %$ $50%$ of $2^{16}$ $2^16$ is $2^{15}$ $2^15$ .

$50 %$ $50%$ of something is exactly half of it. To find half of a quantity, simply divide it by two.

$50 %$ $50%$ of $2^{16} = 2^{16} \div 2 = 2^{16 - 1} = 2^{15}$ $2^16 = 2^16 -: 2 = 2^(16-1) = 2^15$

So, $50 %$ $50%$ of $2^{16}$ $2^16$ is $2^{15}$ $2^15$ .
